I am not asking for anyone to remove uniques.

I don't believe that multi-multi's are ordering rovers to only work 
them.  What I do believe is that some rovers end up not working anyone
else for whatever reason.  I just believe multi-multi's should be 
proactive in encouraging all of their rovers to "open" up and make
it clear that they do not want rovers showing up only in their own
log.

That is, if we all thinking that is a problem.
